Da-Dar-Da-Dar [Da-Dar-Da-Di]

Lovers sitting looking shy

As lovers often will

Waiting for that hour of bliss

When all the house was still

That hum-ma-ma went out

La-da-da, da-da-da-di

That hup-pa-pa went out

Da-da-da, da-da-da-di

She had on her mind, stay home

Two of them on their own

Waiting to be,

Hoping to be,

Longing to be...alone

Nobody else about

Da-da-da, da-da-da-di

Then his cigar went out

Da-da-da, da-da-da-di

Even the fire went out

But when the lights went out

Da-da-da,

Da-da-da, da-da-da-di

Now your Mama's gone out

Oh d-d-d-darling

And your Papa's gone out

Oh d-d-d-dearest

Why they're all out

Oh, dash it!

Here comes your little brother.

Here Johnny, run away and play

And I'll give you a shilling!

I don't want the shilling.

Well, here's two shillings

If you'll only run away and play.

No, I don't want two shillings.

Oh dash it! Well here's half a crown then.

I don't want the half crown.

Confounded! Oh, what do you want then?

I wanna watch.

Oh, you wanna watch?

Well here, take mine...chain and all,

And there's five shillings to go with it.

La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-di
